    Asskicking 101

    2,038 words

    So, you wanna fight, huh? Or maybe you’ve been given no choice – your country is overrun by hostile people with a genetic predisposition for lowbrow criminality and you have to defend your person, your loved ones, your honor, and your wallet with the weapon which God saw fit to put at the end of each man’s arm.

    Zen & Martial Arts

    Taisen Deshimaru

    3,080 words

    Translated by Guillaume Durocher

    Translator’s Note: The following extracts are drawn from Taisen Deshimaru, Zen et Arts martiaux (Paris: Albin Michel, 1983 [1977]). The style reflects the rambling, spontaneous speaking of many Zen masters, whose “writings” are often not of their own initiative, but rather sayings recorded by their pious (often Western) followers. Another example of this would be Shunryū Suzuki, who was popular in California. This does raise the question of how “Taisen Deshimaru” authored the books ascribed to him. (more…)

    Cobra Kai

    4,212 words

    I just concluded a very satisfying orgy . . . of nostalgia. By that I mean that I finished watching season 1 of the new series Cobra Kai on YouTube Red. Before the NEETS accuse me of giving money to the Jews, I’ll have you know that I have a free 30-day trial that I intend to cancel before I am charged. Elements within the Alt Right have already discussed the show a bit, (more…)

    The Secret of the Way of the Sword

    380 words

    Translated by Guillaume Durocher

    Translator’s Note:

    Taisen Deshimaru was a Japanese Zen master, primarily known for having powerfully contributed to the spread Zen Buddhism in postwar Europe. This story is drawn from Taisen Deshimari, La pratique du Zen (Paris: Albin Michel, 1981 [1974]), pp. 25–26.  (more…)

    Outlaw Fraternity

    Detroit

    2,875 words

    The following is the text of a talk that was delivered at The New York Forum on January 28, 2017.

    I might as well blab about outlaw fraternity. I know a thing or two about outlaw fraternity from running with the white boys in Detroit, pre-crack epidemic through post-crack epidemic. I ran in stride with Ferretti, (more…)

    The Nine Laws by Ivan Throne

    Ivan Throne
    The Nine Laws: Survival, Momentum, Triumph
    Castalia House, 2016

    What if Julius Evola had written a samurai treatise? What if Lao Tzu had written a long, systematic book of philosophy instead of the short, poetic chapters of the Tao Te Ching? What if the famed, long-lost book On Nature by Heraclitus — he who was called “The Dark” — were to be found and published?  (more…)

    House of Flying Daggers

    888 words

    houseofflyingdaggerAnyone who watches Zhang Yimou’s Hero (2002) is likely to want more. Thus I highly recommend Yimou’s next movie, House of Flying Daggers (2004), which is very much in the same vein: a martial arts film set in the exotic past with complex and interesting characters, impossible but spectacular fights, gorgeous landscapes, and dazzling costumes and sets. House of Flying Daggers was filmed in China and Ukraine. Most of it is set outdoors, in magnificent forests of birch and bamboo, filmed in the lushest colors imaginable.  (more…)

    Hero

    hero_film_Jet_li1,270 words

    Chinese director Zhang Yimou’s Hero (2002) is a profoundly beautiful and moving film that celebrates Chinese culture and tradition and promotes noble and patriotic sentiments. Hero is based very loosely on an actual event that took place in 227 BCE near the end of the Warring States Period. It tells the story of an attempt to assassinate Qin Shi Huang, the King of Qin and later the first Emperor of China.

    Youth, Beats, & Right-Wing Anarchists,
    Part 2: Youth in Revolt Against the Modern World

    2,566 words

    Translated by Bruno Cariou

    Part 1 of 2

    We would now like to consider the concerns of young generation a little more specifically. There are youths who revolt against the socio-political situation in Italy, and who are at the same time interested in what we call, in general, the world of Tradition. (more…)

    The Triumph of Mixed Martial Arts

    When one hears the term “Martial Arts,” one usually thinks of the traditional styles of the Far East, namely Kung Fu, Karate, or Tae Kwan Do. (more…)
